AT5600 Self Test Function
The AT5600 Self-Test Function is an essential procedure to ensure that your AT5600 unit is functioning correctly.
This routine check helps maintain confidence in the unit's performance by identifying potential issues before it impacts test accuracy.
The Self-Test Function can be initiated from the AT5600 front panel or via AT Editor software.
We recommend performing this test once a day or before any testing begins to ensure optimal condition of your AT5600 unit.
NOTE:
It is important to note and ensure that no fixtures are connected and Safety Interlock is secure as high voltage may be present during the test.
If you have any failures, kindly check if you have the latest firmware installed as newer versions of the firmware can remove some false failures.
